"Brother Haoze, can you park your car at our shop later? I want to put two fish for my uncle and aunts?" They bought the fish and shrimp and asked Xiang Jin on the way back.
"Yes, what's wrong with this?" Zeng Haoze readily agreed.
Yan Chen asked, "Do you have enough salt at home? Do you need to buy more salt and other condiments?"
Xiang Jin said, "That's enough, that's enough. My mother bought the salt yesterday. We also have other seasonings at home. In fact, this pickled fish is mainly salt, and the rest are auxiliary to enhance the flavor."
It’s just a dose.”
"Yeah," Yan Chen responded slightly.
When the car drove to their shop, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Her uncle and aunt were not very busy at this time, and they were sitting at an empty table in the shop to rest.
, and her mother and grandmother only had two or three pieces of braised pork that were not sold out.
"Uncle, second uncle, come quickly and catch two fish to eat," Xiang Jin jumped out of the car and shouted to the people in the store.
"Ouch, you're back so soon?" Her eldest uncle and second uncle stood up and walked towards them. When Xiang Jin and her two aunts heard the sound, they also walked out of the kitchen.
"Oh, I bought so much," her two uncles couldn't help but exclaimed after looking at the trunk.
Xiang Jin said, "I go all the way to buy fish. If I buy too little, the fish will be precious and I will lose money!"
"Haha, yes, yes, the fuel cost alone is not easy," Xiang Jin and her second uncle nodded.
Xiang Jin said, "That's it!" Then she put her mouth inside again, "Auntie, quickly bring out a basin and scoop a few pieces into it."
"Oh, oh, okay, okay," her aunt turned back before she could get close.
Yan Chen said, "Auntie, bring another basin and put some shrimps back in to eat!"
"Okay!" Xiang Jin's aunt turned her head and smiled at him again.
Xiang Jin's second aunt also had a smile on her face. She walked up to Xiang Jin, looked at the fish in the basin in the trunk and asked Xiang Jin, "Girl Jin, what kind of fish are these? I know them."
This grass carp and crucian carp, oh, this is a bass, right?"
Xiang Jin nodded, and then pointed to introduce to her, "Well, this is seabass, this is herring, herring and grass carp are generally used to pickle cured fish, this is yellow spicy diced," this is the authentic wild yellow spicy
Ding'er, when she saw it, she persuaded everyone to buy it. You must know that thirty years later, it was difficult to buy authentic wild yellow spicy Ding'er. Many of them were artificially raised, and they were extremely expensive!
Then she introduced them to them, "This is carp. Let me tell you, it is best to use carp to make sweet and sour fish. Auntie, will you catch two later?"
Zeng Haoze stood aside with his hands folded across his chest. After hearing Xiang Jin's words, he said to Yan Chen, "Little girl, you are quite particular about eating, huh?"
Yan Chen said, "She likes to study food!"
Zeng Haoze nodded, "It seems like I really have to taste her craftsmanship today, but I really can't tell?"
Yan Chen thought to himself: There are still many things you can't see.
Her second aunt said, "You don't need so much. Just catch one and it's enough. We don't often prepare food at home. It would be a pity to throw it away if it freezes to death at home."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yeah, okay, I'll give you a little less, but I bought three grass carps and three herrings for you and your uncle, and then I'll make them into pickled fish for you."
, this can be regarded as the New Year’s gift our family gives you this year.”
Her second aunt said, "Why did you buy so much?" But she was still very happy in her heart, and her whole face was smiling.
Her eldest aunt brought out the basin, and Xiang Jin asked her eldest and second uncles to pick out fish. Pick whatever fish you like and catch whatever fish you like!
Her uncle said, "Hey, these fish are all good fish, very fresh, any one will do."
Her second uncle nodded and casually picked up two of them, a grass carp and a herring.
Xiang Jin asked, "Just these two items?"
Her two uncles nodded their heads, "That's enough, that's enough. You see, we don't have time to do it."
"Yes, yes, Linla is very busy now," her second uncle said.
Xiang Jin walked over and said, "Catch two more seabass. I won't get the rest for you. This, this will be easy to make when the time comes. You only need to steam it, and it won't take much time."
Her second uncle hesitated, and her eldest uncle said, "Then catch two!"
"Oh, okay!" Her second uncle hurriedly started.
Yan Chen asked them to scoop some more shrimps into their bucket, and Xiang Jin and her second aunt asked, "How can we eat so many shrimps?"
Xiang Jin said, "This is easy to make. You just need to boil it in plain water. When the time comes, you can get some water and peel off the shrimp shells and eat it directly."
"Yeah!" Yan Chen nodded towards them.
"Oh, okay, okay!" His uncle nodded, and then took some more shrimps from inside, but not much. It was probably just a plate of cooked shrimps. It was Yan Chen who asked them to take more shrimps, so they got them.
I took some, probably a little over two kilograms.
After her uncle and aunts had picked up the fish and shrimp, Xiang Jin looked at her mother and asked, "Do you want to go back with us?"
Her mother said, "There are still a few pieces of braised pork that haven't been sold out."
Xiang Jin said, "Why don't you sell it? You can just keep it for yourself. In this way, leave one piece for your two uncles and aunts, and then we will take the remaining two pieces home directly. I will treat Grandma Mo to dinner tonight."
Aunt Liao and the others came to our house to eat fish. Grandma, please come with us. My granddaughter promises to make several different kinds of fish for you to eat!"
Her grandmother said, "I won't go. Your uncle and aunt also have fish here."
Xiang Jin said, "How many kinds of fish do they have here? There are only four kinds if you include shrimps. Do you think how many kinds of fish I bought today? I plan to cook a whole fish feast for everyone tonight! Let's go.
Come on, come on, come with us. Besides, I plan to pick up all those fish when I go back. I will be busy cooking then, so your grandpa and the others can pickle the fish for me!" said
Then Xiang Jin pushed her.
As soon as the old lady heard that her granddaughter had something to ask for her help, she quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go! But can your car accommodate so many people?" Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked
Yan Chen looked at his cousin's car with some concern.
Zeng Haoze said, "You can sit down, you can sit down, Grandma Yang, don't worry, five people can sit down no matter what, it's spacious inside!"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Okay, okay, then I'll bother you two, huh?"
"Grandma Yang, you're welcome!"
"Then I'll go pack my things and I'll be out soon!"
Yan Chen and the two brothers nodded, and Yan Chen told her to clean up slowly and not to be in a hurry.
Xiang Jin's grandmother turned around and went inside to pack her things, while Xiang Jin's mother also started taking bags to pack the braised pork.
After a while, Xiang Jin's grandmother and mother had packed up, and they were about to go back. Xiang Jin's eldest aunt and second aunt each came out with two bags of things and stuffed them into Xiang Jin's hands, "
This is the tofu we bought at noon. Let’s take some back with us in case you want to make sauerkraut, tofu and fish.
You can also use the fish stewed with tofu. Let your grandpa Zeng and his friends take this rice noodle back home. He likes it. I think Xiao Chen usually likes it too. We were so busy last time when we came back that we didn’t have time to give it to you.
Make it, take it back and let them make it themselves, whether it is soup noodles or stir-fried noodles!"
Xiang Jin nodded, and her second aunt said, "This pastry is the same. I packed one portion for your Grandpa Zeng and the others, and you take the other portion back to eat by yourself. There are some rogue monkeys there. Girl Jin, my family
You should be more considerate of those two people who don't worry, huh?"
"Auntie, what did you say? What kind of naughty monkeys? Yang Xu and Yang Xin are usually very well-behaved and never cause trouble for me. I like them very much and let them stay at our house longer this time.
"
Her second aunt immediately became very happy, "Well, they are very willing. Every day at home, they are counting on their fingers how long they want to stay at Sister Jin's house. You can't even drive them away with a stick."
Walk!"
Xiang Jin said, "How can they do that? They can even help us with some work when they get to our house!"
Her second aunt laughed again and said, "Just do whatever you want!"
Xiang Jin and others got on the bus, and Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin and her grandmother to sit in the front, while he sat in the back, next to Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin waved to her uncle and aunts, "Uncle and uncle, you might as well just close the business this afternoon, and then cook early and eat all the fish. The freshest ones are the ones you eat today."
!”
"Okay," they waved to them all.
After Xiang Jin and the others left, Xiang Jin and her second aunt said, "Close the stall, close the stall, and get ready to cook!"
Xiang Jin and her second uncle asked, "Is it really going to go out of business?"
Xiang Jin and her eldest aunt said, "My brothers and sisters packed all the snacks just now for Jin and the girls to take back. And I only left some rice noodles for us to eat in the evening. I guess there are only some left in the shop now."
It’s time to unload that basket of steamed buns. Take a rest.
Rest, they are going to have a whole fish feast tonight, we will also eat fish tonight, don’t you have to go back in the afternoon, make it early and go back early, so as not to get dark and it will be difficult to walk, and I see
The snow is expected to get heavier tonight."
Xiang Jin and her second uncle nodded, and then everyone started to pack up.
As soon as the car stopped on the road not far from their home, a group of people walked out of their yard. Running at the front was the eldest child Yang Zhao, followed by Xiang Lan, Yang Xu, Yang Xin and the others.
A few little ones.
"Sister, shall we help you get the fish?" Xiang Lan jumped up to her in three steps and then looked up at her with an excited expression.
Looking at the family in front of him, Xiang Jin said, "How did you know we were back?"
Yang Zhao said, "A few of them ran out to look, and then ran out to look, just to see if you were back. These people have been looking forward to it for most of the afternoon. They ran out to look again just now, and then saw it from a distance.
Your car then started shouting."
"Oh, so that's it?" Xiang Jin looked at the little ones with a smile on his face, then he raised a bag of pastries and two pieces of braised pork in his hand and said to them, "Hey, take this first.
go back."
Several people didn't pick it up and just stared at the trunk. Zeng Haoze found it funny, and then he opened the trunk. The little ones stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look inside, but they could only see that
The fish in the stainless steel basin cannot be seen in the other buckets because they are not at an altitude high enough.
"Wow, there are so many fish?" Several people stared at the fish in the basin with wide eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yeah, there are some other ones that I haven't seen before? Look!" Yang Xu pointed at a few yellow spicy dices and said.
"Where is it? Where is it?" Xiang Lan and Yang Xin hurriedly gathered around.
"Isn't this, isn't this? Na na na, that's the same, that's the same!" Yang Xu pointed out to them again.
"Oh, there are still tortoises, there are still tortoises, look, look!" Yang Xin suddenly shouted with excitement as if he had discovered a new world.
"Yes, tortoise, tortoise, haha, there really is a tortoise, sister, why did you buy a tortoise?"
Xiang Jin said, "If I buy it as a pet, can't I keep it as a pet? Oh, okay, okay, let's move it back and take a look. Then you can take your time and see what it's like to be stuck on this road!"
After hearing this, several little guys quickly moved away and stood aside. Then several male compatriots hurriedly unloaded the goods. Seeing them trying to move such heavy things down, Xiang Jin suggested, "Anyway, these
The fish will have to be dealt with later, so just pour out some water before moving it, it will be too heavy for you to move it like that."
After thinking about it, several people thought that what she said made sense, so they all nodded. However, there were no extra empty buckets and basins in the car. Xiang Jin and her grandfathers did not bring them with them when they came out, so his grandfather walked over.
He said, "You all stand closer and farther away, so that it doesn't splash on you when the time comes?"
After a few people gave way, his grandfather tilted a bucket and poured water outside. Immediately, the water poured out with a "pop" and flowed as far as possible on the ground, followed by the second bucket and the basin.
Although the road was a dirt road, and a lot of water was poured on it, fortunately there was a lot of snow on it, so it didn't wash out the road too badly.
Yang Hui picked up a dry branch on the roadside and dug a small ditch on the road, and tried his best to divert the water to the ground next to it.
Yang Xin was confused and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Yang Hui said, "The weather is too cold, and the water can easily freeze on the road. What if the water accumulates on the road and turns to ice and someone falls down? I will divert the water out like this."
Don’t worry about something like this happening.”
"Oh," Yang Xin responded softly after understanding.
Zeng Haoze looked at Yang Hui with admiration. Although this boy looked ordinary, he was very kind at heart and had a calm temperament. Well, not bad!
Xiang Jin and her grandfather poured out most of the water in the bucket and basin, and then everyone came forward and moved the two buckets of fish and shrimp and the large basin of fish out of the trunk, and then gave them to others.
They moved to the yard.
Yan Chen and his cousin said that after they went back and put down the things in the car, they would come and kill fish for them. Xiang Jin waved his hands to them and said, "No, no, you handle yours, our family's manpower
It's enough, you see, my mother, my wife
Grandma, my grandpa, Yang Hui and Yang Zhao, they can all be dealt with. You guys, just come over for dinner at about seven o'clock. Oh, by the way, help me give it to Aunt Liao.
Just bring a message and we won't go over alone to say hello."
Yan Chen saw that there were indeed many people in their house, so he nodded in agreement, "Yeah, okay!"
The two brothers were about to turn around and go back, but Xiang Jin called Yan Chen and said, "Wait a moment," and then walked quickly into the house.
Yan Chen was puzzled, but still stopped and waited for her.
After a while, Xiang Jin took out two bags from the house and handed them to him, "I packed some low-gluten flour and potato starch for you. You can take them back to make shrimp dumplings to eat. Is there a lot of this?"
Low-gluten flour, the less part is potato starch, Grandma Mo knows the proportions."
"Okay!" Yan Chen raised the corners of his lips slightly and reached out to take it.
Xiang Jin waved to him, "Remember, I'll come over for dinner around seven o'clock!"
"Well, good!"
Yan Chen turned around and left, but before he could walk out of the courtyard of their home, he heard Xiang Jin calling a few children, "Xiang Lan, Yang Xu, Yang Xin, you guys, stop looking at me and go to the fields first."
Pick a few fresh tomatoes and come back. Remember, ask for the crimson ones! Then peel a bowl of garlic for me!"
The corners of Yan Chen's mouth curled up again.
"How many are you picking?" The little ones turned their heads and looked at her.
Xiang Jin said, "Five or six! Remember, crimson ones, don't have green ones!"
"Oh!" several little guys responded in unison.
Zeng Haoze saw that he was holding something else in his hand, so he asked, "What is this again? Flour?"
"Um!"
"We have no flour at home?"
"No, this is the special flour used to make crystal shrimp dumplings!"
"Specially made?!" Zeng Haoze looked confused.
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, this is low-gluten flour and potato starch. The dumplings we usually eat are ordinary small flour starch."
"Oh, there is such a thing?!" Zeng Haoze looked like he had been taught something, and then started the car and drove off.
Yan Chen asked, "Have you never eaten crystal shrimp dumplings?"
Zeng Haoze shook his head, "With so many people in the army, how can the comrades in the cooking class have so much free time to prepare such complicated and exquisite things? It would be nice to eat dumplings with ordinary dough once in a while."
Yan Chen nodded in understanding, "Then you're in for a treat now!"
Zeng Haoze suddenly became interested, "Hey, don't tell me, Xiang Jin and his family are quite easy-going. Look at how warm her uncle and aunt are to others, and they even brought so much to our family.
Do they often bring things to our house?"
"Well, I take them often, they are quite honest!"
"Well, I can see it," Zeng Haoze nodded.
The brothers drove the car home, and after unloading their things, Yan Chen went to Aunt Liao's house to inform her to go to Xiang Jin's house for dinner in the evening.
"Oh, why did you buy so many fish, shrimps, and turtles?" Grandma Mo looked at the two big buckets and smiled.
Zeng Haoze corrected her, "Grandma, that's not a turtle, that's a turtle!"
"Turtle?! Isn't that a turtle? Look, it looks the same as a turtle?!" Grandma Mo was stubborn.
Zeng Haoze patiently explained to her, "Grandma, this turtle is used to make soup!"
Grandpa Zeng came over and said, "You old woman, you still don't believe me when I say you have little experience. A tortoise is a tortoise, and a turtle is a turtle. The tortoise's shell is hard, and that tortoise's shell is soft. Can't you touch it?" He said.
He picked one out of the bucket and brought it to Grandma Mo.
Grandma Mo didn't believe that evil, so she reached out and touched the shell, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Oh, it's really a bit soft?!"
Grandpa Zeng had an expression like "I'm right," and then he continued to spread knowledge to her, "Also, the shell on the back of the turtle is divided into more than a dozen pieces, like a shield.
As for turtles, you see, they are not divided into pieces, they are just one piece of shell."
"What a turtle, you bastard, you have confused me," Grandma Mo said.
Grandpa Zeng said, "Look, you don't know anymore. This turtle is also called a tortoise and a turtle!"
Grandma Mo couldn't see his arrogance, so she pretended to be impatient and said, "Yes, yes, you know better, I'm just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, so this should be fine, right?"
Grandpa Zeng frowned, "Look, look, you are an old woman?!"
Grandma Mo just gouged him out, and Grandpa Zeng sighed.
Zeng Haoze stood aside and watched his grandparents bickering and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Yan Chen came back from Aunt Liao's house soon. Seeing them all still standing in the yard, he asked, "Why are you standing here?"
Zeng Haoze said, "Oh, it's okay. Grandpa just explained to grandma the difference between the turtle and the tortoise."
Yan Chen nodded, and then everyone moved the fish and shrimp into the house together. Then Yan Chen suggested, "Grandpa and grandma, let's keep these fish in that pond, and we will deal with these shrimps later."
Wrap it into shrimp dumplings?"
"Wrap them all into shrimp dumplings? Don't boil them?" his grandmother asked.
Yan Chen said, "Let's go to Xiang Jin's house for dinner tonight. She said she would make a whole fish dinner for us tonight. It's hard to put the shrimps in, so we might as well take care of them."
As soon as Grandpa Zeng heard that he was going to Xiang Jin's house for dinner, he was immediately overjoyed. Then he nodded and said, "Well, I think it's okay. Let's make them into shrimp dumplings and eat them. That one is also very fresh. My eldest grandson
Have you ever eaten crystal shrimp dumplings?”
Zeng Haoze shook his head honestly, "Not yet!"
Grandpa Zeng winked at him and said, "Grandpa and grandma will give it to you! Chenchen has eaten it before!"
"Okay!" Zeng Haoze's eyes narrowed with a smile.
Grandma Mo was also happy and started to roll up her sleeves as she said, "Then let's hurry up and try to wrap it up by then and bring some to Jin Yatou and the others."
Yan Chen said, "They also bought a lot."
Grandma Mo was startled, and then said, "Oh, yes, yes, they also bought it today. It's okay. Then we will help them pack it then."
"Um!"
Then everyone started to get busy. They first poured the fish into a large clay pot in the kitchen to raise, and then started to process the shrimps.
"Chenchen, if you don't like to touch these fishy and greasy things, then you can go to the garden and peel some green onions and scallions for grandma, and then tidy them up." Her grandma frowned in fear when she saw him holding one.
Go ahead and take action, just say.
"Oh, okay!" Yan Chen quickly put down the shrimp, then got up and walked towards the greenhouse.
As for Xiang Jin and the others, after she only gave instructions to the few young ones, she said to Yang Zhao, "Yang Zhao, there are so many fish to kill, please help me get a few buckets of water and pour it into the small pond under our kitchen."
Let’s put it in the house, and then pick out a few lively fish and put them in there, so we can eat them later.”
When their family was building their house, she asked the bricklayer to build a small pond as big as a dustpan with river sand, cement and pebbles under the kitchen, just to temporarily raise fish.
Yang Zhao nodded after hearing this, "Okay, but how many fish do we need to raise, and what kind of fish do we need to raise?"
Xiang Jin said, "Let's raise two grass carp and bass, and then put the tortoise and crucian carp in there too. Then the crucian carp can be made into soup, but don't raise too many crucian carps, just five or six."
Bar, I'm afraid they won't be able to raise them for long."
"Okay, right away!" Yang Zhao stood up and went to the well to fetch water, and Yang Hui also went to help him.
Not long after, Xiang Lan and the others came back from picking tomatoes from the field. Xiang Lan held the basket in front of her like a treasure, "Sister, do you think these tomatoes we picked are pretty?"
?”
Looking at those big and red tomatoes, Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's not bad!"
The little guys immediately smiled proudly.
Then Xiang Jin called them, "Why don't you peel the garlic first? I'll give you a task first?"
"What mission?" Several people looked at her brightly.
Xiang Jin said, "In the past, someone in Baytou also sent some food to our family. Today, our family bought so many fish and sent some to them. Sister is busy and has no time, so you guys will go and deliver it to them."
Is it okay for a while?”
Several people nodded towards her.
Xiang Jin walked over to her grandfather and mothers. They had heard what she said just now, so they asked her which families she wanted to send and what kind of fish she wanted to send.
Xiang Jin said to them, "We will make shrimp dumplings to eat the shrimps. Just one herring for each family, not too big, not too small, for Zeng Qing's family, Xiang Yao's grandparents' family, and
Aunt Xiaoping and her family..."
Xiang Jin mentioned five or six families in one breath, and finally mentioned the family of Little Fatty Ai Can and his grandmother.
When Xiang Lan heard that he was going to send a fish to Yang Shuying, he immediately felt unhappy, "Ah, sister, why are you sending it to their house too?"
Xiang Jin said, "Didn't they catch two chickens for us before? As the saying goes, it's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. It's better to be generous and not so stingy, right?"
"Oh, okay!" Although she was still a little reluctant, but since her sister had spoken, she had to do as she was told, so the little guys turned around and asked the adults to catch fish for them, so that they could deliver it to them.
Give to others.
Xiang Jin and her grandfather pulled some straw from behind the house, and tied two straws to each of them in a few clicks, asking them to take them with them and deliver them to others quickly. The little guys turned around and left the house, and then his grandfather
The grandmothers began to butcher the fish.
After a while, Yang Zhao and Yang Hui also joined the fish-killing team. Xiang Jin asked her mother to fry the salt, and fry some fragrant leaves, star anise, cinnamon, etc., then grind them into powder and add them to the salt.
Her mother nodded and left, while she went to start preparing dinner.
"Girl Jin, you really made a table full of fish feast?" At seven o'clock in the evening, Xiang Jin's family started dinner on time. Looking at the table full of dishes made from various kinds of fish, with all kinds of colors, flavors and flavors, Grandpa Zeng's eyes were filled with excitement.
There was a look of amazement in him.
Xiang Jin helped him and Grandma Mo sit down, and then said humbly, "I don't know if it tastes good?"
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it must be delicious, it smells delicious," Grandma Mo said quickly.
"Yeah," Grandpa Zeng nodded vigorously again.
Aunt Liao laughed and said, "If Jin Yatou's food doesn't taste good, then what we make will taste even worse!"
"Where is it that my aunt knows how to praise me?!"
"I'm not complimenting you. Auntie, this is all telling the truth. You said that you are a little girl at such an age, but you can cook so many delicious dishes. Auntie feels ashamed. Introduce to us, you
Xiang Jin slightly hesitated and nodded, "Okay, then I will introduce to you, this boiled fish, spicy pepper fish, braised tofu fish, sweet and sour fish, steamed sea bass, you all know it, so I won't introduce it to you."
You guys have talked too much, let’s just talk about these dishes, this one is called Fried Whitebait with Eggs.”
"Is this called whitebait? It's so small!" Aunt Liao suddenly interjected.
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, this whitebait is indeed not big!" Then she continued to introduce, "This one is called dry-pot yellow-bone fish, with some tea tree mushrooms in it, and this one is grilled crucian carp.
Please be careful when eating.
, pay attention to the small fish bones on it. This one is roasted with honey, this one is fried shrimp in oil, this one is boiled shrimp, and it comes with dipping sauce. You can eat whichever flavor you like later. This one is two-color chopped.
Pepper fish head.”
"Oh, it looks delicious at first sight," Aunt Liao exclaimed.
"Sit, sit, sit, sit down quickly!" After Xiang Jin introduced everyone, her grandfather quickly asked everyone to sit down.
Because there were a lot of people eating today, Xiang Jin and the others arranged two tables. One table for the adults, and then another table for the teenagers. Because the difference was a bit big, Zeng Haoze and his grandparents sat at one table.
Xiang Jin and her grandparents sat at a table.
"Everyone, eat quickly, eat quickly, don't get cold later," Xiang Jin and her grandmother followed and hurriedly greeted everyone, "Girl Jin, you should also sit down and eat."
"Oh, okay! Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Mo, Aunt Liao, and Brother Haoze, if you want to eat, just tell us and I will serve it for you!"
"Oh, okay!" Grandma Mo touched her arm with a loving look on her face, "Hurry up and sit down and eat!"
"Okay!" Xiang Jin responded and walked back to the table with a group of young people. The little guys all looked starry-eyed when they saw her.
"Eat whatever you want, why are you looking at me?"
Xiang Lan said, "Sister, haven't you returned to your seat yet?"
Xiang Jin said to himself, "Why do I feel like a grown-up? Okay, let's start, but you little ones should pay more attention and be careful when eating. Be careful of what's inside."
Fish bone!”
Several people nodded vigorously, "Yes!" Then they picked up their chopsticks and became rude!
Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen, "Bring over the grilled crucian carp, and we won't be able to eat that dish. There are too many fish bones in it!"
"Okay!" Yan Chen reached out and brought the plate of grilled crucian carp over.
After eating a few chopsticks, Xiang Jin whispered to Yan Chen, "If you don't want to eat rice, but want to eat noodles, rice noodles or vermicelli, just tell me and I'll get it for you later. We
There’s still crucian carp soup simmering in the pot!”
The corners of Yan Chen's mouth turned up, "Okay!"
"Sister, what do I want to eat later?" Yang Zhao asked after hearing what Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen.
"Okay!" Xiang Jin said loudly immediately, "If any of you want some noodles, please let us know if you still have some noodles, and I will give them to you later!"
Xiang Lan raised her hand and said, "I don't want noodles, I want to eat. Sister, the sweet and sour fish you made is really delicious. I think it would be better to eat with this sauce, it's sour and sweet!"
"Yeah, yeah, I want to eat too," Yang Xin raised her hand and said.
"Okay, then you just eat. Xiang Lan takes care of his brother and serves him some food later," Xiang Jin then told Xiang Lan.
Xiang Lan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, sister, keep it with me!" After saying that, she put another fried shrimp into Yang Xin's bowl, "Eat more of this, my sister said it's for calcium supplement. Then you can
Just grow taller!"
"Yeah, yeah, thank you, Sister Lan!"
"Okay, good boy, come on, let's have some more braised fish and tofu," Xiang Lan touched Yang Xin's head like a big sister, and then put two more chopsticks of vegetables into his bowl.
The corners of my eyes twitched when I saw it.
The last thing is that, except for Yang Zhao, everyone else ate rice, but it seemed that Xiang Jin's rice was not steamed enough, so Xiang Jin counted it and made some soup for everyone.
Vermicelli and noodles.
After dinner, Zeng Haoze gave Jin a thumbs up, "Girl Jin, that's awesome!" At noon, he thought Yan Chen was in the eye of the beholder, so he said the dishes cooked by others were not as delicious as those cooked by Xiang Jin.
, but this
At this moment, he really realized that it was not only more delicious than other people's food, it was simply too delicious. Every dish was delicious! The lunch meal was simply a waste of resources.
Ingredients!
Xiang Jin said, "Brother Haoze, I'm sorry, but have you eaten well?"
"Okay, okay, I'm so full, chef!" After saying that, the man gave Jin a thumbs up again.
Xiang Jin narrowed his eyes when he smiled!
Then Grandma Mo asked them if all the fish and shrimps had been processed. If not, they would process them together with them.
Xiang Jin's grandmother smiled and nodded and said, "It's taken care of, everything is taken care of. Our family has a lot of hands and can do it quickly. It doesn't take two or three hours to take care of all those things."
"Have the dumplings been wrapped too?" Grandma Mo asked again.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "That's not the case. We just prepared the stuffing and said we would make it after dinner."
Grandma Mo said, "Then go and make the dough quickly, then take it out, and we will make it for you together. There are many people, so it’s quick!"
Aunt Liao also nodded in agreement with Grandma Mo’s words!
Xiang Jin's grandmother said politely, "Oh, how can this be so easy? It's already so late today, why don't you go back and rest early? Our family has many hands, so you won't be able to spend much time?"
Grandma Mo went to push her grandmother Jin, "Oh, go quickly, go quickly, we will pinch you two or three times, that's quick! Besides, it's too early to go back to bed now, where can I sleep?"
Got it!"
Seeing the adults being polite there, Xiang Jin and the others stood aside and couldn't help laughing. Finally, Xiang Jin said, "Oh, okay, grandma, then you and mom can go make some noodles.
It's a waste of time to be polite like this!"
"Oh, yes, yes, go quickly, go quickly!" Grandma Mo pushed her again.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother sighed, "Oh, look, I didn't play for a while after I came here, and I still have to tire you of work. How embarrassing!"
"You said you, an old sister, are being polite, aren't you? What is the relationship between our families? Do we need to say those words?"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm going to make the noodles. I'm going to make the noodles. Then you guys sit down for a while," Xiang Jin's grandmother said and turned around to go to the kitchen. Aunt Liao hurriedly followed her, holding hands.
Xiang Jin invited them to sit in the living room, and then lit a pot of firewood for them to roast.
After a while, Xiang Jin said to Yan Chen and the others, "If you want to go back early, just go back. I will send Grandma Mo and the others back later."
Yan Chen said, "It's okay. I'll wait for them together. Brother, if grandpa gets sleepy later and wants to go back first, can you go back with him?"
"Okay! I know!"
There is strength in numbers. In a short time, Xiang Jin’s mother and Aunt Liao made two big lumps of noodles. Then the two of them rolled out the noodles. Xiang Jin, her grandmother, Grandma Mo, and Yan
Chen, his brother, Yang Hui and Yang Zhao took care of it together.
Only Xiang Lan and the other three children were left in the room, chatting with Xiang Jin, her grandfather, and Grandpa Zeng, who were warming themselves over the fire.
It only took Xiang Jin and the others almost an hour to make three large dustpans of shrimp dumplings, and the fillings were all finished, and in the end only some scraps of dough were left.
Finally, Xiang Jin asked her mother to pick up fifty dumplings for Aunt Liao and take them back. Aunt Liao refused, so Xiang Jin said, "Aunt, we won't bring you any fish. You can just bring some shrimp dumplings back.
It’s also convenient to cook at any time!”
Aunt Liao said, "Your Grandma Mo and the others also brought me dumplings?"
"Oh, take it, it's winter now, don't let it go, what Grandma Mo and the others took is what Grandma Mo took, and what we took is what we took. You are alone and so busy every day, so take this home and cook it for convenience.
"As she said that, she put the basket into her hand.
Aunt Liao sighed, "Hey, look at you girl, you give everything to Auntie, but Auntie doesn't have so many good things for you?"
Xiang Jin said, "Why didn't you take it? You wrapped all the watermelon our family eats in the summer, as well as some other vegetables from your vegetable garden."
Grandma Mo also helped by saying, "And our family too, take it, take it, this is what they want!"
Aunt Liao nodded, "Okay, I'll take it then!"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother also said, "Would you like to cook something to eat before we go back?"
Grandma Mo said, "Well, what else are you going to do? I've only been eating for a long time, and then I'm going to eat again. I think you don't want us to fall asleep tonight!"
Then everyone burst into laughter, and then Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Okay, then you can go back and rest early. You see, the delay has been postponed until after nine o'clock."
Everyone no longer exchanged polite greetings, but nodded and walked out together.
